too slow to use for little ones

The only good thing is you get a charger to sit the camera in and keep charged all the time. Would not re buy.

QuickTake:

Pros: Not too bad a picture once you can get subject to sit.

Cons: too slow, Grandchild gone before you get the picture.

Recommended: No

Pentax Optio A10

by Simon Joinson

Comments:
